Similarly when you pick up a pre-paid SIM card for your phone, you get a form asking you to register your phone number. You have to go show ID and then the O2 (or whichever) shop keys your information in. They took my passport number, an address, punched it into the computer and said have a nice day. Had I not gone in and registered my SIM card? Phone number goes dead in two weeks, no questions asked.
Compare this to the 'States, where getting pre-paid service is about as anonymous as a cell phone gets.
Does anyone (any Germans in the house?) know what they DO with this? Why is it required to register my phone? Why?
I have also been using Trillian for quite a while, and in spite of its shortcomings I can't/won't/don't want to change to another client.
My main qualm with Trillian is a lack of support for Skype. Unfortunately I'm trapped on a low speed, high latency internet connection while studying abroad, so I only use Skype for chatting (but not voice or video). The best Trillian could do was offer me a plugin that added everything happening in the Skype message box to my normal tabbed chat box.
Has Trillian come any further since I used this plugin? Can you now log directly into Skype without having to load the Skype program? Right now I don't need voice chat functionality, but I would like one less program running.
...it would take me all of five minutes to set up my settings the way I want them again.
I completely agree with you, but the crazy thing about this is that when you start trying to reconfigure and get on with life, it refreshes the page and goes back to the default layout.
I honestly had no idea. A friend of a friend watched one once, and he said he kept seeing people's heads in front of the camera. I guess that makes sense though.
As a Bank of America customer, I have to tell you that you're not entirely correct here.
If I log in from a new computer (or clear cookies on my own), I have to add that computer to the safe list. That is, I have to get a new cookie.
In order to authorize a new computer, I have to answer one of three preselected security questions. These questions include: What is your maternal grandmother's first name? What is your maternal grandfather's first name? In what city where you born? What was the name of your first pet?
and 5 more that I don't care to take the time to count.
After this authorization takes place, my sitekey is displayed, allowing me to verify the authenticity of the site.
That's not to say it's foolproof, but it isn't quite as simple as you make it out to be.
What really makes it fun is when my mom's cookies get cleared, and she can't recall the answers to her questions./missed the aforementioned security classes//not an expert, just a user.
Well, and then there's this guy. Milton Waddams. Now, we couldn't find any record of him actually being employed here. We did a little research into this, and it turns out that he was fired some three months ago, but nobody ever told him. Unfortunately nobody through some glitch in payroll, he's been collecting paychecks ever since. So we, uh, fixed the glitch.
I would be greatly indebted to you if you would be so kind as to tell me how to add the "de-uglify" button, or where I can access it. a quick search of themes, plugins and addons for FF2 reveals nothing called "Toolbar MS" Thanks.
This is my iPhone.
There are many like it, but this one is MINE.
My iPhone is my best friend. It is my life.
I must master it as I must master my life.
My iPhone without me is useless. Without my iPhone, I am useless.

I don't get it. Can somebody please provide a blog-comments-management analogy for me?
bonus points for using the word "orient" while taking about differences between the western societies in comparison with China.

only on slashdot would people rate a post concerning the correct spelling of "31337" insightful.

Well, that and the fact that you have to pay to camcorder the movie. Isn't that kind of against the whole idea of pirating?
